Seeing your message come through the list piqued my interest, so I
pulled out the c8000 workstation again and installed HP-UX 11v1 on it.
Not directly helpful to your present problem, perhaps, but as a data
point, I was able to successfully get all the way to a working
gcc-12.1.0 starting with nothing but the HP ANSI C compiler.
Starting from an 11.11 HP-UX and HP C installation, with Support Plus
2009-12 patches, I was able to:
- With CC="cc -Ae +DD64" to get a 64-bit toolchain
- build GNU make-3.82
- build binutils-2.14
- build gcc-3.4.6
Using that gcc-3.4.6, I could build:
- gawk-3.1.8
- binutils-2.25.1
(the last that builds before we have stdint.h available)
Then, using the HP ANSI C compiler (*not* the gcc-3.4.6 we built, it
will generate code that can't be assembled due to incorrect handling of
very large switch statements):
- gcc-4.7.4
(in-tree gmp/mpfr/mpc build failed during stage 2, so I
built my own first)
Using that gcc-4.7.4, I was able to build gcc-10.4.0 successfully
(in-tree gmp/mpfr/mpc worked this time).
With gcc-10.4.0, I could build:
- texinfo-6.8
(because the latest binutils build seems to require texinfo even
though it claims it doesn't if you don't need to regenerate the
documentation)
- gawk-5.1.1
- make-4.3
- binutils-2.38
- gcc-12.1.0
(but see https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-help/2022-May/141628.html; I
needed to comment out lines 756-757 in c++tools/server.cc just like I
did on HP-UX 11.23)
All intermediate GCCs were with --enable-languages=c,c++; the final
gcc-12.1.0 was with --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran.
No exotic configure flags for any of them, just the usual --with-gnu-as,
--with-as, --without-gnu-ld, --with-ld, --disable-nls,
--enable-threads=posix.
So... perhaps something suspect gcc 9.5.0? If you have the HP ANSI C
compiler available, perhaps you can take a path similar to mine and
build up from scratch. If you don't have the HP compiler, the GCC
Platforms notes indicate it may be possible to start by using the
built-in K&R C compiler in HP-UX to build gcc 3.3 and start working your
way up from there.

So the way we end up having to debug this stuff is to compare the
resulting code in the files that differ and where/why they differ. Given
that the PA/HP-UX isn't a common target anymore, it's entirely possible
something has gone wonky. I know John David Anglin does build it
semi-regularly, maybe he has some insight. My tester only builds 32bit
PA Linux, so it's not particularly helpful.
It might be something in the debug sections, in which case bootstrapping
without -g should get you over the hump. It might also be a problem
where -g is impacting the resulting code generation (that's not supposed
to happen, but does), and again bootstrapping without -g should get you
over the hump.
It may also be the case that there's a codegen issue in gcc-9.5.0 that
affects building gcc-10 and gcc-11. I think it's pretty unlikely to be
a binutils problem.
So the first step is to look at those files and see where they differ.
Do they differ in the contents of the text section or is it something else?
